Control Resonant Resonant Entities Files

Vlad Susanu, who edits Map Master, pinned each file as it appeared, and the Control Resonant boss and collectible maps cover the zones where the fights happen. Exact desks are in the list below. The real question for this set is which fight unlocks which file.

Resonant Entities Files You Can Read Right Away

Two files need nothing. Resonant Autopsy, a report on the Downtown Resonant’s corpse, is on the street west of the Field Office, and Field Research On Resonant Entity: RE-ZD is in the lobby. Both cover the Artist, whom you beat at the end of Orientation, long before you reach Central.

Grab both on your first visit to the Field Office, since they’re the only part of the set the story doesn’t gate. Every other file waits on a later fight, and five of them appear on that same lobby desk, so it’s the spot to recheck after each boss.

Resonant Entities Field Research: One File After Each Resonant

Each Resonant you defeat adds its own field research file. The Deserter unlocks RE-ZC, the Dancer RE-WIZ, the Physicist RE-UN, and the Collective RE-TP, and all four appear on the same lobby desk as RE-ZD. The code is the zone: ZC is Zone Central, WIZ the West Incursion Zone, UN the Underpass, and TP The Park.

RE-UZ, for the Unknown, is the last file in the set and the only one in a different spot. It spawns after the Co-Director, on the desk by the Field Office Wardrobe rather than the lobby desk, so check both after the final Resonant.

The Resonant Entities Observations Report and Other Field Office Spawns

The Observations Report is the only file tied to a quest instead of a boss. It’s an FBC report on the cyclical nature of the Patterning, and it appears on the lobby desk once The Enemy of My Enemy is complete.

The Field Office fills up in step with the story, so these files share their timing with other sets. After the Co-Director, Nature of Hedrons from the FBC Research & Records late spawns appears on the front desk too, and five Altered Item Reports at the Field Office turn up in the same building.

Resonant Entities Locations: 8 Files, 6 Locked Behind the Story

There are 8 Resonant Entities documents, all in Central: two from the start, five unlocked by Resonant kills, and one by The Enemy of My Enemy. If one is missing, a Resonant is still alive, since each field research file only spawns after its fight.

None are missable, because the Field Office stays open after the credits. The Deserter fight also drops the Untapped Lighter, and the Untapped Artifact drop list shows the rest, so the RE-ZC visit and a new Artifact come together.
